If you were to build a track car - what would you build?

Also you could consider a Foxbody Mustang, check out NASAs web page and you can find out more about CMC (camaro mustang challenge). Its a very affordable class to run. Theres also a class called AI (American Iron) you could probably build a car for that for between 10k and 15k, its a very good very competitive class.

Its actually more expensive than one might think. building one from the ground up will definately cost more than the 10K budget that Atlz06 would like to stay close to. I'm not sure what they go for when they are already built.

I would say race a miata. to be very competative in SM would definately be expensive, but to build a SSM(showroom stock miata) would be considerably cheaper. if you get a chance next year go to road atlanta and walk around in the paddock area. you'll get a better idea of costs there. also there is a spec miata forum, might be a good place to find out more info

theres nto really a big field for SSM... you could buy a middle-pack SM for pretty close to 10k.

unless you wana run with hooverspeed, saferacer, or even OPM... then youre looking at 25k+
